Day Habilitation without Walls

Day Habilitation without Walls is designed for young adults with disabilities seeking a personalized, community based day habilitation experience. Enrolled individuals work one on one with a counselor who will help to integrate them into their local community through various activities. All of the activities are based on the interests of the individual being served and their family. These life skills and social activities may include (but are not limited to) volunteer work, attending a gym, learning basic money management, developing travel plans, and participating in recreational sports such as bowling. The program days and hours are built around the outcome plan developed for the individual being served and his/her needs.

To be eligible, the individual must be:

• Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD)
  eligible and on the OPWDD list of students in transition
• Have Medicaid and a Medicaid Service Coordinator
• Live in Nassau or Suffolk County
• Be waivered or be eligible to be waivered
